Description of the invention (/) Field of the invention The present invention relates to a self-recovery oscillator for a semiconductor memory device, and in particular, to a self-recovery oscillator The oscillator can minimize the power consumption in the standby mode by sensing the loss of the memory cell data due to the leakage current, and by controlling the refresh cycle. Therefore, 'the resettable oscillator according to the present invention can be applied to all semiconductor memory devices which perform a reset operation. Description of the background Generally speaking, "self-renewal" means that the dynamic random access memory DRAM itself has a predetermined cycle and performs a self-renewal operation so as to keep the memory cells stored in the memory in the standby mode. Information. As the density of wafers has increased due to the development of DRAM manufacturing technology, highly integrated DRAMs have been developed, such as 256Mb DRAM and 1Gb DRAM. Therefore, the number of bits of the DRAM increases, resulting in a sharp increase in power consumption during the refresh operation. This is because despite the increase in the number of memory cells, the capacitance of the memory cell capacitors that make up its memory cell has not been modified or reduced. Therefore, if the DRAM integration level is quadrupled, the power consumption during the refresh operation will also be nearly quadrupled. The increase in refresh power consumption is due to the increase in the degree of DRAM integration, which is one of the major problems in the field of semiconductor technology development. Especially in a system equipped with a memory cell, such as in a notebook personal computer, the power consumption in standby mode on the use time of the memory cell will result in a paper size corresponding to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) · · Line · 494409% A7 ______ B7__ V. Description of the Invention CV). In the conventional technique, an oscillator having a predetermined period is used to perform a self-recovery mode, and its refresh operation is performed according to the predetermined period. Here, because the data retention time in the DRAM memory cell is easily affected by temperature, and at a predetermined level at room temperature, the predetermined period is determined according to the data retention time in the DRAM memory cell. Although the data retention time is maintained at room temperature or low temperature for a few seconds, it is maintained at a temperature of only 0.1 second for a long time. Therefore, at high temperatures, the self-recovery cycle is determined by a relatively short data retention time, and therefore becomes shorter. This means that its refresh operations are performed frequently. Therefore, power consumption may increase. However, notebook PCs, which are quite affected by the power consumption of self-recovery, are usually used at room temperature. Therefore, the conventional self-recovery oscillator that determines the refresh cycle based on the high-temperature data retention time has a disadvantage: it unnecessarily increases the power consumption in the standby mode. The main purpose of the present invention is to control its self-recovery cycle to be able to change with temperature, and to prevent the unnecessary self-recovery cycle from being performed frequently, thereby providing a method that can stand by. The resettable oscillator minimizes power consumption in mode. In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, a self-recovery oscillator is provided, which includes: a control signal generating mechanism that senses a potential change of an input signal, and, based on an enable signal, The variable-conductor memory device is enabled when it enters the self-recovery mode, and produces a paper with 5 paper sizes applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 public love ^ — " (Please read the precautions on the back before (Fill this page) # -t-rOT. • Line 494409 A7 ♦ 'Γ ______ Β7 ___ V.

At this time, referring to the drawings, the self-recovery oscillator according to the present invention will be described. The memory cell simulator 10 shown in FIG. 2 includes: a memory cell simulation unit 21, sensing the loss of memory cell data due to leakage current; and a data writing unit 23, which has a sensing behavior of data loss of the memory cell simulation unit 21, in the output signal from the control signal generator 14 Under the control of (wr), the data writing operation is performed by discharging the potential at the output terminal (stg).

According to the writing operation control signal (wr) generated from the control signal generator 14, there are The power supply voltage Vdd and the bit line precharge voltage Vblp are selected to be supplied; and a plurality of N-channel MOS transistors MN21 to MN2n are connected in parallel to the common source terminal of the power supply devices MP21 and MP22 and the memory cell simulation unit 21 The output nodes N1 and their gates are respectively connected to receive a control signal (wr) of a write operation. Here, a P-channel MOS transistor is used as its power supply device. The memory cell simulation unit 21 shown in FIG. 2 is a circuit structure when the DRAM memory cell is in a standby mode. • Line In addition, the memory cell simulator 10 uses a signal (stg) outputted through the output node N1 of the memory cell simulation unit 21 as the first input signal of the comparator 12 thereafter. So 'because the capacity of the memory cell capacitor used for the DRAM memory cell is considered to be small, about 25fF, and a plurality of memory cell capacitors C11 ~ Cln and a plurality of N-channel MOS transistors MN11 ~ MNln are connected in parallel, To avoid misoperation. In addition, the data writing unit 23 responds to the high-state pulse of the control signal (wr) of the writing operation, supplies the power supply voltage Vdd to the output node N1, and performs the same operation as writing data to the DRAM memory cell. In more detail, when the control signal (wr) of the write operation is low, the P-channel MOS transistor MP22 connected to the application line of the bit line precharge voltage Vblp is turned on, thereby precharging the bit line voltage Vblp. A common drain terminal of a plurality of N-channel MOS transistors MN21 to MN2n connected in parallel is provided.

Description of the invention (q) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The control number (WI *) is forgiveness. 'The P-channel MOS transistor MP1 connected to the power supply voltage Vdd application terminal is turned on', so that the power supply voltage Vdd is supplied to a plurality of N-channel MOS transistors MN21 ~ MN2n connected in parallel. Take the extreme. However, the plurality of N-channel M0S transistors MN21 to MN2n are turned on only when the write control signal (w0 is high (the potential exceeds 'Vdd + Vt'). Therefore, the power supply voltage is transmitted to the output node N1, and therefore charges the output signal (stg) with the power supply voltage Vdd. Although the common gates of the plurality of N-channel MOS transistors MN11 to MNln constituting the memory cell simulation unit 21 are grounded, a subcritical current still exists and flows through MOS transistor, and a small leakage current due to the interface, etc. The surrounding temperature and processing significantly affect its leakage current.

In the enabling unit 31, when the control signal (en) is high, it is inverted to a low state by the inverter 131, and the inverted signal is supplied to the p-channel MOS transistor MP31. Gate. Therefore, power is supplied to the output node N1 via the resistor R31. Therefore, the entire operation of the comparator 12 is enabled. However, if the control signal (en) is supplied at a low state level, it will be inverted to a high state by the inverter 131 and supplied to the gate of the P-channel MOS transistor MP31.
